Arizona Lawyers Group: Personal Injury

Most personal injury claims require sufficient evidence and in-depth legal knowledge. Without extensive experience handling personal injury claims, you may not receive the compensation you deserve — insurance companies play hardball and aim to offer the bare minimum, even when you’re entitled to far more.

An experienced Arizona personal injury lawyer knows how to negotiate with insurance companies and fight for the compensation you deserve. At Arizona Lawyers Group, our highly skilled attorneys know how to navigate the complex world of personal injury claims to get you what you’re owed.

What can Affect a Personal Injury Claim?

Every personal injury claim is unique, since the facts and circumstances surrounding each case vary. Here are some common factors that can influence the value of your personal injury claim in Arizona.

What can Affect a Personal Injury Claim?

Every personal injury claim is unique since the facts and circumstances surrounding a personal injury claim vary. Here are some common factors that can influence the value of your personal injury claim in Arizona.

Type of Injury

The type of injury you’ve suffered significantly influences the value of your claim. A successful personal injury claim results in compensation for what’s often referred to as “pain, suffering, and loss of amenity.” Settlements should reflect a fair and reasonable figure for the injuries suffered and how they’ve affected your ability to go about daily life. Injuries resulting in permanent disability — such as amputation — tend to carry higher compensation, since you should be compensated for all physical pain and damage to your body. At Arizona Lawyers Group, our attorneys specialize in personal injury claims and know what it takes to win a case in Arizona.

Cost of Medical Expenses

Receiving effective medical care is one of the most critical factors in any personal injury case, but treatment can be costly and can strain your finances. As a general rule, it’s best not to settle a claim until you’ve reached a stable medical condition or maximum medical improvement — settling too early can mean missing out on compensation for future treatment needs. We’ll help you understand exactly what your claim is worth, including medical bills and other expenses, and advise you on the best strategy for negotiating fair compensation.

Impact on Your Finances

The financial damage caused by an accident also plays a major role in determining the value of a personal injury claim. The purpose of compensation is to help put you back in the position you would have been in had the accident never happened — so your award should reflect the accident’s real impact on your finances, especially your ability to work. If your injuries forced you to stop working, the value of your claim increases accordingly.

Catastrophic injuries that leave you unable to work or function independently often result in significantly higher compensation. In some cases, courts may award provisional damages when there’s sufficient evidence that a victim may develop a disease or experience serious deterioration in the future because of the accident — these anticipated future losses are also factored into your claim’s value. If you’ve suffered significant financial harm due to an accident, contact our team today for legal advice.

What Is Personal Injury Law?

Also known as tort law, personal injury law allows injured people to file a claim against negligent parties. If you were injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, Arizona law allows you to pursue compensation for damages such as:

  • Lost wages
  • Medical bills
  • Pain and suffering

While compensation can’t undo physical harm, it helps ease the financial burden of an injury and holds the responsible party accountable. Under Arizona law, you’re entitled to file a claim against any individual or institution liable for your damages. Most personal injury lawsuits settle outside the courtroom through negotiation, though Arizona Lawyers Group’s dedicated personal injury attorneys are fully prepared to represent you in court and negotiate directly with the defendant’s insurance company when needed.

How To Know If You Have a Strong Personal Injury Case

If you’ve been injured — or lost a loved one — in an accident caused by another person’s carelessness, you may be wondering if you have a valid claim. Under Arizona personal injury law, a case generally needs to meet three basic requirements to recover compensation:

1. Prove Negligence
If the accident occurred due to someone’s carelessness or negligence, you likely have a personal injury case. For example, if an intoxicated truck driver crashed into an innocent motorist, that driver would be considered negligent under Arizona law. Our attorneys know how to prove negligence in court to help secure maximum compensation.

2. Negligence Caused the Injury
You must also show that the at-fault party’s negligence directly caused your injury. In the example above, if the motorist suffered a severe head injury or broken arm as a result of the crash, the truck driver’s negligence would be considered the direct cause of that injury.

3. The Injury Resulted in Compensatory Damages
Finally, the injury must have resulted in real harm — lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, and so on. These compensatory damages play a key role in determining your claim’s value: the greater the damages, the higher the potential claim.
